The "UKmixPARADE" - The Chart Of Our Charts!

Thirty-seven of the personal charts combined into last week's UKmixParade have been updated - and it's welcome back to bluecherry, whose new top five increases the total number of contributors to forty-six. 690 points are shared among 176 different tracks, twenty-nine of which are at number one in one individual chart but nowhere in any others. The number ones of bluecherry, heppolo and Magnus are their only representatives in the overall top eighty, while the entire top fives of CandyPerfumeBoy, ConstantinosV, JimJim, KokoCollino, Mainshow and whoawhoa are somewhere here.

Grete Paia has the only re-entry of the week, but there are twenty-three brand new arrivals - including Rachel Platten and Tarja. Both debut inside the top twenty - but which one is straight into the top ten? Also there, climbing a massive seventy-one places, is Ed Sheeran - while Zayn featuring Sia advance into the top five. And, after spending two weeks at number one, then being stuck at number two behind Taylor Swift for the next six weeks, Pink now returns to the top for a third week as our forum favourite with "What About Us".

Actually i'm not, its a very non-descript US r'n'b song that typically does well on Spotify because, without generalising too much, it sounds like the type of music 11-16 year old boys would listen to.

Well Jake, I'm almost 22 and I love it. My Boss is 37 and he loves it. It gets almost 50 Million streams worldwide per week on Spotify alone and it's the most successful Song in the US and Europe at the moment... There are many 11-16 years old boys out there

I quite like "Rockstar" (not enough for it to reach my top five, but I think it's pretty good). Rap songs just don't do well here... except for "Bodak Yellow" for some reason.

Well, my current chart is two fifths rock and two fifths songs from My Little Pony. With the remaining spot having a dance song that I liked for a day and then got sick of. And almost none of my big hits this year have appeared in anyone else's charts (too cool for mainstream ). One of tomorrow's debuts has already appeared in a couple of other charts, though, while the other certainly hasn't.

Well everybody can hear that what he likes. I also have often days when some special song enters high in my chart and the other day I am so bored that it falls out so fast... especially 2011-2014 this often happened on my charts. And you can see. I'm also not that mainstream. For example Closer or Hello which Songs aren't played by anybody else on the earth. I still love that Songs and Closer will probably be the first Song which was more than one year atop my charts

And it's time for another not-so-mainstream chart from setg1! There are two new entries for the third week in a row. Last week, there were two songs from My Little Pony charting but this is no longer the case – there are three now! "Flawless" (at #1 for a second week) and "Coinky-Dink World" (down to #5) are joined by the poppy "Monday Blues" at #2. The other new entry is by Khalid. While I didn't like "Young Dumb & Broke" on first listen, it has grown on me and now enters at #4.

The dropouts of the week are Foo Fighters after seven weeks in the top five, including four at #1, and Kygo after just one week at #4.

Looking briefly ahead to tonight, we can probably expect a high new entry from Alan Walker and a big climber from Catherine McGrath - while Pink could have a second track inside the top ten as well as being fairly sure to stay at number one for another week. But there are still nearly thirteen and a half hours left for further new and updated top fives to make an impact . . . . .

Thirty-one of the personal charts combined into last week's UKmixParade have been updated in the past seven days - but not the chart of taraella, now dropping out. 660 points from forty-four contributors are shared among 167 different tracks, twenty-eight of which are at number one in one individual chart but nowhere to be found in any of the others. Everyone has at least two of their top five in the overall top eighty this time, while the entire top fives of CandyPerfumeBoy, cheapthrills, ConstantinosV, Mainshow and whoawhoa are somewhere here.

There are no re-entries this week, but twenty-two brand new arrivals - and four of them are inside the top twenty, for Alan Walker, Helene Fischer, Mariah Carey and Taylor Swift. Which one is closest to the top ten? Further down, two songs from Pink's new album are among the other debuts . . . . . another one makes a small climb . . . . . the title track rises into the top ten, replacing a former number one by Selena Gomez . . . . . and, with an eleven-points lead over her closest challengers, she has our forum favourite for a fourth week with "What About Us".

A chart fact from last week (which I forgot to mention then): Rebecca Shoichet became the second artist ever to be at #1 and #2 at the same time. Previously, Twenty One Pilots managed to do this for three weeks in a row with "Heathens" and "Ride".

This week's setg1 top five had an unusually tough fight for #1. "Monday Blues" looked like an early contender for the top spot, but fell later in the week. For a while, it looked like "Feel It Still" could return to #1, but in the end, "Flawless" managed to stay there for another week. While Khalid was never a contender for number one, he managed to climb to #3 over the week. Could he be a force to reckon with in the near future? This week's only debut is by Swedish metal band Mustasch at #5. They were already close to charting last week.

This week's dropout is Shannon Chan-Kent's "Coinky-Dink World" after three weeks and a #2 peak.
